I got it!!
I got the HP book, and I am SO excited.
I went out tonight, and got the book. I didn't preorder or anything. I went to our local Barnes and Noble, and got a wristband for tonight. Then I found out that Wal Mart was selling them at midnight too. So, I was very very perplexed on what to do.
I ended up going to B&N and I am so glad I did. It was so fun!! People were running around in costumes, and it was a very jovial atmosphere. They did a countdown and everyone cheered. They had the Starbucks open till midnight, so I got a coffee, found a spot on the floor and finished up my book, while they did all the preorder customers. Then I finsished my book, and got another one right off the shelf and started reading again. I eventually found a chair, and sat there till the called my group up. So, I left with a lightening bolt temporary tattoo, a green rubber bracelet that says July 16, 2005 with an owl on it (Like the Livestrong bracelets), and a poster with all the cover art work for each book. Oh and of course the book, and the 2nd Lord of the Rings book. I was there almost an hour exactly.
